Graduation photo booth props come in gold and black or silver and black. Each set of props come with 20 different pieces, including 2 custom talk bubbles. Friends and family of all ages will enjoy taking pictures with the graduate at the party. Seniors will also enjoy them and the memories they make at end-of-year events.

Take the fun up a notch by adding a photo booth backdrop. This one was created using black ribbon and extra large party circles from our Tassel Worth The Hassle graduation party theme theme. Gold Personalized Graduation Party Table Confetti are a great DIY party supply for any event. By attaching them back-to-back around lengths of ribbon, they were an easy photo booth backdrop for these grad party photos.

Next, bring a personal touch to the event with these clever and easy do it yourself craft ideas:

Shaped Cut Outs // These cut outs come in a kit of black bows, pink perfume bottles and Eiffel Tower shapes. The bows were attached to toothpicks and used as cupcake toppers; the perfume bottles were added to square plastic containers filled with candy; and the Eiffel Towers were attached to the front of tiny martini gasses filled with chocolate candies. Extras can be scattered along dining tables and the gift table.

Personalized Table Confetti // This is a DIY party supply that sometimes gets overlooked for just how versatile it can be. Attached to ribbon, it makes an adorable garland for the front of the tables. We used the Paris shape from the photo booth prop kit for the center - ooh, la la!
